Cerulean Villas

With its soft, white sand backed by coconut trees and colorful beach bars, Anguilla has long been celebrated for having some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. For many, this is an island that epitomizes the Caribbean dream, and with an embargo on cruise ships and high-rise hotels, it’s a pocket of paradise that’s determined to retain its authenticity. For the kind of privacy only a stand-alone property can afford, seek out a beachfront villa with space for the whole family, group of friends or celebration.

The villas at CéBlue are tucked into the lush hillside leading down to Crocus Bay.

CéBlue Villas

The villas at CéBlue are tucked into the lush hillside leading down to the shores of Crocus Bay with sea-facing terraces for taking in the ocean views. Villas with between one and five bedrooms all feature private pools, a fully outfitted kitchen spilling onto the outdoor deck, an indoor-outdoor living space and a poolside rain shower. You can dine in-villa or at the resort’s fine restaurants and unwind at the CéBlue spa.

This palatial property on Limestone Bay is hard to beat for seclusion and ocean-side extravagance. Here, two master suites and two king bedrooms with private balconies are joined by a kids’ lounge with twin beds, a kitchen (with chef service) and dining for eight to ten guests. Relax in the outdoor living and dining area, work out in the gym and cool down in the impressive pool. The villa has been furnished to feel like a real home—making it even harder to leave.

This Four Seasons enclave is located on Anguilla’s tranquil northwest shores overlooking two golden beaches from the top of the coastline’s coralline bluffs. The four-bedroom villas have far-reaching ocean views from the bluff-top while the five-bedroom villas look out to sea from Barnes Bay Beach. All come with generous indoor-outdoor spaces that have a contemporary feel and inviting private pools. Each villa also has a gourmet kitchen, but you can request private chef dinners and spa treatments are offered in-residence.

This small, secluded resort is on the cliffs overlooking Little Bay Beach, with three beaches just a short golf cart drive away. The resort’s two spectacular villas, North and South, are contemporary in design with floor-to-ceiling windows and privacy provided by tropical gardens. Both the four-bedroom North Villa and six-bedroom South Villa come with an enclosed living and dining space, a kitchen, outdoor lounge and dining area, nine-meter pool, roof deck and a top deck with a hot tub.

You can revel in these new facilities while staying in your own private property by checking in to one of the resort’s villas. Each villa here has direct beach access, a private pool and a wealth of amenities within its serene indoor-outdoor living space.

Best of all, the villa comes with a full staff, including a concierge.

I've always been passionate about travel. After university, I travelled through Asia, Oceania and the Americas for a number of years, with time spent living in Cuba, Colombia, Australia and Costa Rica, and almost five years in Singapore and Japan. I completed a postgraduate in journalism while living in Asia and have worked as an editor and travel journalist ever since, contributing to Elite Traveler, Conde Nast Traveller, Time Out, Esquire and Suitcase Magazine among other travel and lifestyle publications. Memorable travel moments include exploring the northern islands of Madagascar, meeting the tribes of Papua New Guinea’s highlands and sailing around Indonesia’s remote archipelago, Raja Ampat.
